The aim of this paper is to describe the Airbus fly-by-wire systems from a fault-tolerant standpoint. The Airbus fly-by-wire basic principles are presented first. Then follows the description of the main system features common to A320 and A340 aircraft, the failure detection and reconfiguration procedures, the A340 particularities, and the design, development and validation procedures. Future trends in terms of fly-by-wire fault-tolerance conclude this overview.
A family of fault-tolerant systems: electrical flight controls, from Airbus A320/330/340 to future military transport aircraft
